I think the hips lose the coil early as the back elbow lowers. So you have some leaking during the initiation instead of a sharper turn of the hips and hands.

Said another way, there is some shifting and slotting. Another way is saying it is there is missing frames, losing the coil. Another way of saying it is she could rotate into footplant better.

Thanks! Head is spinning. Could I see some pics or videos of it done right. Is it where the back Butt cheek goes back to the pitcher as she goes into toe touch?thanks again!!!!

If someone makes a gif I'll turn it into a side by side synched video.

We are looking at a good swing and seeing what can be improved. It should be about what can be improved. The hips slide forward as she slots the back elbow. There should be more turning at that point.

The frame rates aren't the same so I just made something real quick. I'll try to make something better.

See the difference in shifting into footplant?

Yes... would I be correct in saying it’s more snappy? Powerful? That is result though , right? So I need her to retain coil longer?

Thanks for the help everyone. One of the reasons she is be able to start hitting HR’s in the last month is because of the years of information and knowledge I’ve gained from this board. I don’t see her getting much bigger. She is petite. She is 5’3 105 pounds, So we are trying to get her swing as efficient and is leak free as we can.thanks
